The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she plans to take to ensure that her Department's new counter-extremism strategy effectively distinguishes between (a) legitimate political or religious expression and (b) actions that pose a genuine threat.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The Home Secretary has commissioned a rapid review of extremism and our current approach to tackling this issue. We are reviewing a range of work, as well as engaging and learning from a range of voices across government, academia, communities and international partners.

This review is due to conclude in the autumn and will provide a series of recommendations, action subject to scrutiny and assessment in the usual way.
